Coconut Banana Pancakes are light and fluffy, and packed with essential nutrients such as fiber and potassium from the bananas. It also helps bring you to a more tropical place considering most of us are under some deep deep snow.
Stack em’ high or stack em’ low. Or do prefer the venn diagram style when it comes to eating pancakes? I’m not picky because either way these are delicious.
I used Organic Coconut flour from Bob’s Red Mill because simply, I love Bob’s anything. We even have their rolled oats on subscription at Amazon because we go through so much! So when, Bob’s sent me some coconut flour, among other ingredients, I had dozens of ideas float through my head and this is just one of them. More to come later 😉

Flavor is excellent, but pancakes were hard to flip and tasted a little dry. Suggestions?

Hey Beth! I'm glad you enjoyed these pancakes! I did write some tips to make these easier in my post, but I would recommend adding maybe a tablespoon or two more of milk ( almond or butter milk). Coconut flour is notorious for being extremely absorbent and can cause a dry batch. I had this problem in my first batch. Came out crumbly. Also, keep the burner on low. And if you can find a lid to place over the skillet, it will help keep the moisture in your pancakes. I hope this helps!!!

Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
Love me some Bob's Red Mill! And I can't believe these were made with coconut flour! I use it quite often but I still didn't expect something like this could be made with it. 🙂

I'm dying to try coconut flour (but holy cow is it pricey). I could definitely stack these high and have at 'em - I need a bit of tropical in my life right now.

Ugh, I can't even with this stupid snow. It screwed up all my weekend vintage-shopping plans! Then again, weekends at home are just meant for breakfasts like this one, with a giant mug of hot coffee.

I think coconut flour might be the only one I haven't tried yet. Pancakes sounds yummy

Lauren @ Healthy Delicious says
Every time I see a picture of snow, I want to cry. I'm SO OVER this winter!! These pancakes look like a good way to pretend I'm in the tropics though. 😉 I haven't tried cooking with coconut flour yet, but I'm really intrigued by it!
